Full Stack Engineer

We’re always excited to talk with awesome Developers to help us shake things up. If you’re into new and innovative services, technical challenges, agile development, working in a small team and making a huge impact please read on and email us! NOTE: this is not a Dating Site.

About the Role

We’re looking for engineers that are passionate and excited to build something big. You will be an integral part of a small team and help with engineering and product – from making key decisions to coding and deploying. This is an IDEAL job for an engineer who wants to be part of a small team, feel ownership over their work, and code like a ninja to make this a raging success. You also understand that not everything works, iterating is KEY.

UI/UX Designer & Front-end Developer

You’re insatiably curious. Your friends come to you for tips on the latest design trends, memes, or the hot new app. Because you’ve not only known about them for months, you finagled alpha access. So what if they aren’t directly (or even remotely) related to your product, you understand that great UI inspiration can come from anywhere. Creative Mornings are standard as much for the content as for the camaraderie.

You can’t help but have an organized list of all of your go-to sites for inspiration, a pinboard full of things like funny 404 pages, your favorite ad campaigns, great UI details you spot. You know about the latest jQuery and javascript plugins before they are on Smashing Magazine’s top 20 list and can geek out on typography. But you know it’s not just about design and pixels, it’s about creating a product and a community. You’re a student of human behavior and motivation.

You’re a problem solver. You see opportunities and solutions, not problems. You think carefully but act quickly- you’re a doer who is not afraid to make mistakes. You don’t get discouraged if the most recent feature you built didn’t have the desired results – you’ll get feedback and iterate, iterate, iterate, until the goal is reached. You’re as passionate about beautiful design as you are about the metrics that back up user behavior. You are resourceful and efficient; a skilled multi-tasker. If you don’t know how to code, you’re ready to learn and at least know how to edit it. As a user advocate, you live for feedback, but you know how to prioritize it and solve key problems first.

You’re a detailed communicator. You know that team work and collaboration is the way to get the best results; no (wo)man is an island. You’ve worked with marketing directors, engineers, CEO’s and account managers and understand how to present ideas to different teams while speaking their language clearly and concisely.

You can talk about products and features on a high level and also give detailed user interaction and design instructions down to the pixel for engineers to implement. You can build a well written testing plan. You help others see your vision by presenting your ideas backed by research and inspiring designs.

You’re driven. You can’t sleep when you have an idea in your head that hasn’t been recorded. That extra hour is always worth it to get something done. You want to succeed but you also want to help others do what they love and that’s one reason this opportunity is so appealing.

You either have a portfolio site you’ve built or a Behance/Dribble/Forrst account that you’re dying to share because you can’t wait to tell us why you had to stop reading your Communication Arts magazine to apply for this role. Be Creative.

You’re a builder. You’re a builder. You love entrepreneurship and bringing people together. You know Twitter, Facebook, Quora, etc. aren’t are community building tools, not community in and of themselves.

Business Athlete

You’re an athlete. You don’t do just one thing and you don’t want to. You’re good at many things and you pride yourself on being able to figure new shit out – on your own. You’re passionate about startups and entrepreneurship and not because they’ve become en vogue in the last few years. But rather because you love building products, moving quickly and not following the rules. You know (of) the usual tech influencers or at least you follow them on twitter and aren’t afraid to @reply to them iff you have something meaningful to say. You read Brad Feld’s book not to say you did, but because you are genuinely curious about building entrepreneurial communities. You know from experience that whatever you don’t understand you can learn quickly and on your own. You fear mediocrity. In a word: driven.You’re a juggler. You always have multiple balls in the air and you juggle them effortlessly. In fact, it makes you more productive. This doesn’t mean you lack focus, it means you’re insanely productive. You don’t drop balls. Even if the first pass doesn’t take, you figure it out and you pride yourself on that.

BUT just working on just those all day long makes you want to poke your eyes out because you’re also creative. You’re constantly thinking about new ideas. You don’t believe in “idea people” though, you can execute the hell out of them too. You’ve never been asked to do anything twice, except for that one time you had your headphones on listening to Real Estate or Girl Talk. You’re a team player. You can’t imagine yourself saying “that’s not my job.” You’re confident, not cocky. You’re always ready to take on new responsibilities: growing FD to new markets, running live cities, redeveloping the ManagingDirector program, creating and managing partnerships, just generally executing the hell out of everything and figuring it all out as you go. You not only know but are also excited by the fact that the list above is a guess and will almost inevitably change and grow. You’re an athlete. Maybe literally (because that takes major devotion), maybe not. Your friends, professors, relatives all talk about how hard you work and you’re the go-to person when they need something done well or can’t figure something out. You want to work hard on something that you have real ownership over with people that make you better. You should be able to find a creative way to get a hold of us and not be afraid to be wrong and try again. Explain why you had to stop whatever you were doing and apply for this job.
